It just dawned on me that I didn't mention the TEDx part of this. This kid building apps is pretty cool, but the fact that he put together a talk and presented at a TEDx is what might be even more impressive. There are many different sizes of TEDx conferences but coming up November 18-21 there are a cluster of TEDx Youth Day conferences. I think there are about 40 just in the U.S. They're a great event to take youth to or for youth to come present at. At our local one, our presenters ranged from I think 4th grade to an artist in his 60s. If you don't have a local one or can't make it, many are webcast live and almost all the talks are recorded and posted to YouTube at some point. If you have time, a lot of TEDx conferences always seem to need techies to help. And if you really have some time, organizing a TEDx of your own isn't that difficult. http://tedxyouthday.ted.com http://tedxyouthday.ted.com
